Hillsborough County, FL to Consider Establishing a Solid Waste Credit Program

The Commission will Hold a public hearing to consider amendments to Chapter 130 of the Hillsborough County Code of Ordinances and Laws (Solid Waste Collection and Disposal) to establish the Hillsborough County Solid Waste Hardship Credit program and to make additional amendments to align with the new Solid Waste collection contracts. Additional amendments include eliminating the disposal only customers from the solid waste assessment roll, clarifying definitions, revising collection times, clarifying cart placement, yard waste set out volumes, commercial collection frequencies, and adding the requirement for all commercial customers to complete a waste profile prior to disposing of waste in the County system. The financial impact of implementing the Hardship Credit Program would be up to $216,660 annually if all eligible properties participated. The actual reduction in revenue will require the need for additional general revenue to support operations.
